SAD-IRON.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 10, 19114.

Application filed August 2, 1913. Serial No. 782,594.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER F. Com, citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of lVayne, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Irons, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to sad-irons, and an object of my improvements is to provide a sad-iron heated by a gas burner such. that the heat shall be constant and even and disposed at the portions of the iron where it is required. I attain this object in the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a central, longitudinal section of a device embodying my invention, the section being taken in the plane indicated by the line A-A of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section in the plane indicated by the line B-B of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end and sectional view on the broken line C-CC of Fig. 2.

a indicates the body of the iron, the lower surface of which is the smoothing surface. The body ais hollow and is provided with a cover 6 having the usual handle thereon.

c is the lower wall of the body a, its outer surface constituting the smoothing surface.

(Z is a burner tube which extends longitudinally of the body a a short distance above and parallel with the lower wall 0. The burner tube cl passes through a hole in the rear wall of the body a, and its forward end is screwed into and is closed by the material at the point f of said body.

6, e indicate two rows of apertures extending parallel to the axis of the tube (1 and through the wall thereof at equal distances upon opposite sides of an axial vertical plane, said apertures extending radially through the tube cl.

g is a channel extending generally in the direction of the length of the body a in the lower wall thereof. Said channel is closed at the side and bottom, and is also closed at the top except for a narrow longitudinal slot or opening, by upwardly converging walls 7', j. The gas and air mixture is projected into the tube (Z and passes out through the apertures a burning in jets extending ap proximately parallel, above and adjacent to the upper surfaces of the walls j, j. The passage 9 is provided with branches is, k toward its forward end, which branches extend laterally to the surface of said body. Toward the rear of the body the passage 9 branches laterally and then again back Ward, forming the shoulders 2', 27 and openings in the rear end of the body (1, indicated by the reference letters 71, it. By this construction the end of the passage 9 is shielded from a direct draft of air, and the air passing in through the openings it, it strikes against the walls 27, i, which act to check its force sufficiently to prevent it from causing the gas jets to flicker.

The apertures for inserting the tube cl may be easily bored and shaped, as they are axially in line and accessible from the outside of the body lVhat I claim is:

1. In a sad-iron a body at having an air passage 9 branching and opening at one end of the body of said iron, forming openings it, h and shoulders 27, 11 directly in line with said openings, for the purpose described.

2. In a sad-iron the combination of a body a, a tube (Z therein having an approximately radial aperture on one side of the vertical plane through the axis thereof, and an air passage 1 having an upper wall 7' extending approximately parallel and adjacent to the axial line of said aperture.

In testimony whereof, I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
